You go on a space mission

Space Mission by Von Bot

  • You trained for this for six years! You and the crew are hovering in deep space. Five men and one Woman. You are to sleep in chemical sleep for two hundred years as your craft heads out to beyond the edges of the solar system and back. You are the last to go under, after you have made sure the others are safely put down and timed to wake. Finally you do under yourself. You will not age a second in the two hundred years it shall take to planet 391, your destination. You lay in the tech bed after the others are down. You hit the buttons and you are sealed in and lolled into a pleasant and oddly scented chemical sleep.

When you wake up, there's the alarm sounding and you have been auto-waken. You can feel the beard on your face that has grown since the sleep has begun. Something went wrong, you where not supposed to have aged any. You check on the rest of the crew. Everyone's fine except Veronica Eitis. Something went amiss with her chemical sleep and you are staring into the dead face of a shriveled dried up mummy.
